[mso] Re: noisy capital letters

Actually, they shouldn't be looking at the screen, but rather at the
item from which they are typing, such as a hand written page or book.

 As an aside to this thread... Surely, the definition of a 'touch
typist' is someone who DOESN'T look at the keyboard, but DOES look at
the screen?

By the definition mentioned in this thread, I'm a touch typist (as in, I
look at the keyboard while I type), a title which makes me LOL!  ;-)

Regards

I don't have the answer to your question Errol but if this student has
any speed to the typing, the caps lock beeping might be distracting.

I also do touch typing and seldom look at the screen.  The caps lock is
always a problem but having a beeping caps lock key might be
distracting. I've learned to not worry about it since Word formatting
can be used to change the case of the fonts easily enough afterwards.

Back in the day, touch typists HAD to worry about those things because
typewriters didn't have the awesome correction abilities we have today.
Don't put any pressure on your student about the caps lock...encourage
her to concentrate on speed and accuracy and let the tools in the
software do the rest.

Is there any way of making the keyboard "beep" if one has caps lock
engag=3D ed. I have a pupil who does touch typing but often
inadvertantly has the caps lock engaged. To prevent her typing a whole
letter in capitals could Word=3D  be programmed to have a sound made
every time a capital letter = is pressed?=3D0D Errol
